I do my tuition online via SKYPE. I have very good experience with ways of doing online classes. I also accept emails for correspondence. Also phone conversation classes are available.

- Do you have a personal message for students?

My motivation and my passion are modern languages. When I learned Spanish, suddenly a whole continent could talk to me and I could understand a whole continent. Learning a language is exploring your limits and leaving them behind.
That is why I am simply creating a learning environment and motivation, where true learning can take place. Efficient and communicative teaching of meaningful language, essential grammar, and relevant context will lead to your progress and compentent use of German, English or Spanish.

- retired people because learning a language is keeping your mind fit and it is fun

I am accompanying students as they stay in London and want to immerse in German Culture and Literature -

Johannes has been my tutor for the last 3 years. Johannes is an excellent teacher. He is very personable and his teaching techniques are exemplary as he makes the lessons disussion based, introducing new vocabulary and grammar, whilst encouraging a lively and stimulating debate. I highly recommend Johannes and his methods, for anyone wishing to master German
